How do you convince your valentine, love of your life, that the only thing you need to make life complete is an armalite AR50A1 in 416 Barrett? She's not buying the zombie apocalypse being an imminent threat. Besides, she watches Walking Dead and says I just need a crossbow and a machete.

It's an investment. Show her the price difference of a transferable M16 in 1992 and what they go for now. If these weapons wind up on the NFA the same will likely happen.

Just tell her it is (like the old phone company) so you can "reach out and Touch somebody"....it might work... :dry: :unsure:
But I can tell you, if she likes to shoot...she will get a Gun-gasm from shooting it... :cowboy:

Good ideas all. How about telling her that Oprah bought one? Or Kathie Lee, or whomever. Or do a little photo shop and have a runway model carrying one at a Vesace New York fashion show. " As any good Armalite Afficianado knows, it's ALL about accessorizing." Me I am going with: " It's an absolute miracle it showed up here, can I keep it?"

The AR50 is an awesome weapon and I'd love to have one too, but I personally wouldn't recommend the AR50 for a zombie apocalypse.

1: It's big and heavy, I don't know who would like to haul that thing around everywhere they go. Clearing buildings and tight places would be a nightmare.

2: It's loud, all the zombies in town would come to get you.

3: It's single shot bolt action. Wouldn't you think there would be more than 1 zombie to hit most of the time?

4: 416 Barret rounds heavy are hard to come by. Scavenging that type of ammo will be pretty difficult.

AND, crossbows take forever to reload, and they're big. And I'm not sure if you can make crossbow bolts out of wood... I've heard that wood can't handle the stress.

So I'd recommend a semi auto carbine with an popular intermediate rifle caliber or pistol caliber 9mm or bigger. +20 round magazines are highly recommended too. Suppressors would be nice too.

So instead of zombies, I'd tell her something realistic like, "I need a AR50 to shoot down RQ-1 Predator Drones armed with hellfire missiles. The government labeled me a domestic terrorist just because I have a AR10" or something like that. :thumbs:

Ten more years Dabu and we may all be using that line. Someone needs to start writing romance novels that somehow incorporate Armalite products. Then we can tell our spouses we are buying them one of the most romantic gifts in the world, an AR10T with a free floating handguard. Maybe a valentine edition in pink and red with little hearts on the magazine. And a cupids quiver for the 20 extra magazines we also want. You get the picture.

You are making this way too hard. Isn't there a very wise saying?

It is far easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
